ESSAY ON: "The Exorcist"

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: 5 pages in length. The altered state of consciousness the main character experiences in the film is that of a possession trance clearly characterized by a number of telltale indicators, not the least of which includes being able to speak in a foreign tongue without having previous ability to do so. Regan performs myriad physical contortions, is able to move furniture without touching it, talks in different languages and voices, as well as displays instantaneous scratches and marks upon her body that appear without benefit of any mutilating tool; to suggest this trance is motivated by anything other than possession is to blatantly ignore the historical prevalence of such a reality. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
